As a result they’re lashing out ordinary Americans […]

Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) gave her inaugural address as speaker of the House in 2007, she vowed there would be “no new deficit spending.” Since that day, the national debt has increased by $5 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. “After years of historic deficits, this 110th Congress will commit itself to […]

I wasn’t going to comment on Jimmy Carter’s asinine remarks on race because frankly they don’t deserve comment.

This isn’t really news to political junkies like me but it is a page A3 above the fold story in today’s Wall Street Journal: A top White House adviser said Tuesday he doubts two Senate Republicans at the center of health-care talks are negotiating seriously, as Democrats adopted a new, more confrontational tone accusing key […]

Sen. Tom Coburn is right, American’s have lost faith in their government and I can’t think of a better example of why than the attitude displayed by Congressman Eric Massa of New York. Rep.
